Williams got the Pirates on the scoreboard in the first quarter with a 5-yard run up the middle for a 7-0 lead and Ben Ryan extended the advantage to 10-0 with a 42-yard field goal in the second quarter.
The Mountaineers managed to get a 26-yard field goal from Pat Mcafee but the Pirates answered with a 13-yard TD toss from Pinkney to Alex Taylor just before the close of the first half.
